Feeling Optimistic - Day 10

language, chai, education, lunch, hiv/aids with a great man and his fro and mutton chops, beer at equeta with jon and sara, steve and stephanie. 

yesterday my baba drove his car to a different spot.  i thought he was going out to the store or something.  i was going to go with him, so i got in, buckled up, and he moved the car about 20 feet. misunderstanding.  hillarious. 

my swahili is improving each day.  i can converse fairly well (with the help of a dictionary) when i am at home.  different in the real world, however.

i feel proud of myself today.  this is the first time i have ever committed to something for two whole years.  college was different.  it was more of a location.  not a major or class or anything.  this is a committment to a job for two years. great practice for the future.  i have never stuck with anything that long and that consistently.  nothing as consistent as this will be. a full time job in every way.  one that took me around the world and far away from my girlfriend and life.  i miss it.  but i am proud of myself today.  you can do it, eric.  serve someone, something.
